The reaosn for the shows being canceled is often enough this one: |
Ratings averages has been falling significantly every year ever since the 80's. The slow fall in the 90's and early 2000's was because of increased cable competition, and since 2005, averages have fallen significantly because of DVR usage and internet streaming. Which demographic do adverisers only care about? The 18-49 demographic. And which demographic DVR's shows the most and watches them online instead of watching them live? The 18-49 demographic, and more importantly the 18-34 demographic which advertisers are willing to pay the most money for. TV networks can't do anything to stop people from watching shows later and so shows and networks are suffering. This is why more and more shows are cancelled every year than before. Sure they may be profitable, but generally shows that are way below network averages get cancelled.
